Apparently this has really hit the fan, hopefully what I have to say can answer some questions. However, let me first say that my goal is not to get into a little online argument, I am simply speaking on my behalf and stating facts as I see them.
1.I am never on this forum nor am I on any other forum simply because this is not how I communicate with people. I see forums as a informative source rather then a social network unlike plenty of members on here. I mean seriously, just look at this thread....ridiculous. How is everyone able to respond to all of the BS when the alumni are suppose to have full time jobs? Sorry but back home my job doesn't allow me to troll through and complain on something as meaningless as a forum so I don't understand how you guys do it. Furthermore, Students should be in class right? hmm...Lets realize this forum isn't a life-line for everybody. THAT being said....
2.I dropped the ball last semester and Im not going to even try to argue about it. Simply put, I was not NEARLY involved as I should have been. I was going through personal issues in my life that held me back from participating like an officer should. I understand my responsibilities and I have begun to take the steps to turn things around.
3.Stop bashing solely on Cody. I'll be the first to say that the two of us had some serious friction in the beginning of the year, but I feel as if he took the proper steps to resolve the situation. In response to Julie's statement about Cody and his RedBull, I have been affiliated with others who have tried to do what he has done (Snowboard Competition) and describing it as an overwhelming task is an understatement. Could we use that in MM? yea we definitely could but the HUGE difference is we have not been working like a team (as I am positive he did with others to make that competition happen). I feel as if there is no connection between people in MM anymore, bringing me into my fourth point....
4. Whose friends with who? I think there are 2 people I actually hang out with in MM and that really says something about the bad hand we got dealt this year. This is what really made me almost not proud to be in MM, WHERE ARE THE CAR JUNKIES????tearing shit apart for the fun of it, living life, doing fun and crazy (unsanctioned) activities....WTF! I relate everything to back home, and simply put...we are not a "Car" club right now. It feels like a god damn business or something. Im part of a car club my friend and I started back home and we have a close knit group of about 13 people who go out on CONTROLLED drives, car meets, car shows, we work on each others cars all the time but most of all...we all hang out together and party. I know I sound like an ***hole but someone needs to say it. I don't give a shit how many members we have in our club, whats the point if they really aren't into cars? I was good friends with a lot of people last year and it seemed as if this year was going to be the same, but honestly it was a flop. I miss last year and I want to try to build things back to where it was, but it will not happen over night. I could rant about this particular subject forever, and I feel like this was the poor foundation that lead us to this.
I want to apologize for anyone who I offended, but this thread has seriously ticked me off. I may not have been involved like I should have, but for those who(**really**) know me (maybe 4 of you?) I don't take others people shit and let them walk over me. I know where my mistakes were. For those looking for new officers....Officers shouldn't be the only ones making things happen, if you feel you can do a better job then step the F*** up and do it. Whats an "officer position" other then having admin. rights on Facebook and this forum??? this is a CLUB!!!! it shouldn't be run by 4 people it should be run by every member in the club. The officer role should really only be used to form large events such as G force and track days, everyone says they like cars and shit but i never see anyone wrenching? I don't see many people with personalized cars either...so my message to those people...step off, im sick of hearing your whining.
FOR THOSE WHO HAVE A FOLLOW UP TO MY POST*** call me and discuss your problems with what I have just said, I may not see your reply for a day or two...if its important CALL and we can discuss things without doing this petty online argument BS
